It's not BINGO, silly . . . It's 'CARDINAL!'

A good time was had by all at today's Spring Luncheon/Bingo event at the Newberry's Community Action center.

Seniors and guests from throughout the area converged on the center to enjoy Bingo, with seasonal exclamations - spring flowers or birds or games instead of the traditional Bingo shout. Participants, who were celebrating Spring, won food prizes of oats, baking mix, canned fruit, vegetable juice and more. There was also a 50-50 drawing and a delicious lunch of ham and scalloped potatoes, mixed vegetables and a fresh fruit parfait for dessert.

Besides lively games of Bingo and the scrumptious lunch, those attending received information about programs available to those in the area in need of assistance with everything from nutrition to medications to filling out forms for Medicare.

The next luncheon with Bingo is set for May 3, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Because of limited seating in the Villemure Dining Room, reservations are required. Call 293-5621 to claim your seat at one of the Mother's Day tables.
